The aim of the paper is to measure the scope and degree of differences in the situation of young people in the labour market in the border regions of Poland, the Czech Republic and Germany in 2010 and 2018, using six metric variables. For the purpose of the study, a hybrid approach was adopted, which involved carrying out linear ordering of the studied regions on the basis of the results of multidimensional scaling. The synthetic assessment of the changes in the situation of young people in the labour market in border regions was performed using the aggregate measure and Theil's decomposition. The study was based on data from Eurostat's REGIO database. It demonstrated that the situation of young people in the labour market in all the examined regions had significantly improved in the studied period. It also showed that Polish border regions, in addition to being significantly diversified in this respect, are in a worse situation than their German or Czech counterparts, but overall, the interregional disproportions among the countries shrank in the analysed period.
